SAN FRANCISCO, May 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- With the space constraints and urgency required in a mobile push notification, every word counts.

In this report, Leanplum identifies four key themes — and associated power words — that lead to greater mobile engagement, from opens to conversions.

Leanplum found that power words have substantial impact on critical app metrics. Publisher's Clearing House (PCH), a gaming and sweepstakes company, launched a series of A/B tests experimenting with copy to drive more mobile growth and app revenue. PCH learned that the closer an app user is to churning, the more urgent a tone is needed to re-engage them. The results were impressive: PCH saw a 30 percent increase in retention.

"We've found that power words have a big impact on user engagement," said Brooke O'Keefe, Associate Director of Integrated Marketing at PCH. "They help us capture user attention and stand apart from other apps' messaging. Leanplum makes it super easy to A/B test elements such as tone, copy length, and personalization, which substantially boosts engagement."

"We are making it easier for marketers to move past the generic blast approach and to treat each user as an individual," said Momchil Kyurkchiev, Leanplum Co-founder and CEO. "This research illustrates which specific words resonate with app users on an emotional level, a requirement for creating meaningful connections. Including these words in your push notification campaigns can lead to more engagement, retention, and revenue."
